Amari and the Despicable Wonders by B.B. Alston

4.0

Alston’s latest installment in the Amari Supernatural Investigations series is a strong addition to an already wonderful Middle Grade fantasy series that blends a unique magic system with strongly done character dynamics and high stakes. The continuation of Amari’s friendships is done incredibly well, and readers are able to see Amari become a beautiful and bold young hero. Amari and the Despicable Wonders is action-packed and kept me locked in the entire time I was reading, while also weaving in the important discussion about how radical groups can come into fruition or morph from previously ignored groups of people. This is an especially important topic for a young audience to be exploring, especially in our current political landscape. I’m looking forward to more books in this series.
